I’ve owned this Cold Steel 4 Max Scout for about a year, and it’s been a reliable workhorse during that time. This is a big, tough folding knife designed for heavy use, and it hasn’t let me down. Although it’s technically used, it hasn’t seen much pocket time, and I’ve kept it well-maintained. The AUS-10A steel blade holds up remarkably well, even after handling some tougher tasks like chopping wood or breaking down thick cardboard. The Tri-Ad lock is as solid as they come, and I’ve never had any concerns about its durability.
Despite its size and heft, the 4 Max Scout handles surprisingly well. The Griv-Ex handle provides a secure grip, even when wet, and the overall balance makes it easy to control during more precise tasks. I’ve disassembled and cleaned the internal mechanisms to ensure everything works smoothly, so you’re getting a knife that’s not just rugged but also in great working order.
If you need a dependable, hard-use folder that’s built to withstand just about anything, this 4 Max Scout is up for the challenge. It’s got the wear and marks to show it’s been put to work, but it’s ready for more.
